"You talk like you don't have a spouse?" Grandma Gu rolled her eyes at her.
"Don't mention that old bastard to me! Where's Ye Chuan? Come here, let me take your pulse and see how you've been lately. Oh, you look pretty good!" Grandma Xiao was very outgoing and immediately asked Grandpa Gu to take her pulse as soon as she entered the main room.
Lu Zheng, carrying the gifts behind him, felt like he was being insulted. His maternal grandfather was an old bastard, so what about him...?
The three time travelers silently watched Lu Zheng, wondering what his relationship was with Old Madam Xiao.
Yesterday, when I went to the county town, he said he was going to pick up his elders to stay with him. Could it be that Old Mrs. Xiao is his elder?
Wouldn't that make it easier for him to get closer to the Gu family openly and legitimately?
Gu Xin didn't notice Lu Zheng. She stood behind her grandfather and watched Xiao Grandma take her pulse with some nervousness.
Ever since she discovered that jade beads are good for the human body, she would run to the old house every day and secretly drop a jade bead into her grandfather's medicine pot.
She was afraid that the vegetable garden at the old house would be like the one at home, so she didn't dare to throw water into the well at the old house. However, she would throw water into the water tank in the kitchen every now and then. Anyway, no one at the old house had coughed this winter.
"Ye Chuan, did you secretly find some famous doctor? Your pulse is much better than before. If you continue to recover like this, you'll be no different from a normal person!" Grandma Xiao held both hands and said in disbelief.
"Hehehe, isn't this famous doctor Sister Xiao?" Grandpa Gu chuckled when he heard Grandma Xiao say that.
"Old Xiao, are you serious?" Grandma Gu asked nervously.
"Really? In all these years, have I ever lied to you about this? What did you feed Ye Chuan?" Grandma Xiao asked curiously.
“Didn’t you say that Dad needs to keep a good mood, not worry, not overwork, and not do heavy work to get better? Mom, do you think it’s because Second Brother has been very obedient lately that Dad is happy and his illness has gotten better?” Uncle Gu asked.
Everyone in the room looked at Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin coughed awkwardly twice. How could this be blamed on me?
That damned original owner!
“Yes, yes, fourth brother is right! Before, whenever second brother got drunk, Dad’s cough would be worse at night. When second brother was gambling and being chased by debt collectors, Dad coughed up blood once! Second brother has been well-behaved for the past two months, and Dad hasn’t coughed for a long time. Moreover, Dad can go to second brother’s place every day. In the past, Dad would have to stay by the fire all winter!” Uncle Gu added.
"Eldest son, you can't blame the second son for this. I was already like this when I married your mother. It's an old ailment!" Grandpa Gu quickly explained, afraid that his two sons' words would make the second son feel guilty.
"I still think it has something to do with the second brother! Second brother, you should study hard. If we're short of money, your older brother can do the hardest manual labor. You can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar or something. If you work hard, you can become a provincial graduate or something. When Dad is in a good mood and in good health, maybe he'll give us a fifth brother!" Uncle Gu was quick to speak. Hearing that his father was in good health and in a good mood, he dared to think and say anything.
Grandpa Gu blushed.
"Eldest son, get out of here!" Grandma Gu glared at Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu scratched his head, realizing he had spoken too quickly and said the wrong thing, and slunk away.
Inside the house, everyone watched speechlessly as Uncle Gu's tall figure gradually disappeared through the doorway of the main room.
Wow!
That's amazing!
They dare to make jokes like this with their parents!
